Every Ducking Community in One Place (and DuckyTrack Works with Them All)

Rubber-duck culture isn’t one community — it’s dozens of them, scattered across Facebook groups and subreddits for Jeep duckers, cruise duckers, and rubber-duck fans of every stripe. The best part? DuckyTrack works alongside all of them at the same time. Your QR duck tag isn’t tied to any single group, so no matter where your duck is found — a Jeep in a parking lot or a stairwell on a cruise ship — the finder can scan it and watch its journey.

Here’s a roundup of the biggest ducking communities, plus how to set up your profile so finders can follow you across all of them.

Jeep ducking communities

“Jeep ducking” (a.k.a. Duck Duck Jeep) started in 2020 and exploded into one of the friendliest traditions on the road: you leave a rubber duck on another Jeep with a little note, and the finder shares it online with #duckduckjeep.

• Facebook: the various Duck Duck Jeep groups (collectively hundreds of thousands of members), including Official Ducking Jeep Est. 2020. Search “Duck Duck Jeep” on Facebook to find regional groups near you.
• Reddit: r/DuckDuckJeep, r/JeepDucks, and the wider r/Jeep.

Cruise ducking communities

“Cruising ducks” traces back to around 2018, when a young cruiser and her dad hid 50 rubber ducks on a Carnival sailing for other passengers to find. Today, finders snap a photo and post it — tagging whoever hid the duck.

• Facebook: Cruising Ducks – Original (around 284,000+ members) and Carnival Cruising Ducks (tens of thousands of members). Search “Cruising Ducks” on Facebook for your cruise line.
• Reddit: r/cruisingducks, r/CruiseDucks, plus the general r/Cruise, r/royalcaribbean, and r/CarnivalCruiseLine.

A quick courtesy note: cruise lines differ on ducks. Carnival is famously duck-friendly, while some lines discourage it — and never hide a duck in a pool or hot tub. Keep it fun and safe for everyone.

Rubber ducks in general

Not a Jeeper or a cruiser? There’s a community for you too — r/rubberducks celebrates rubber ducks of every kind.

One tag, every community

You don’t have to pick a side. A DuckyTrack free QR tag works the same whether your duck lands on a Jeep, a Lido deck, or a park bench. Keep posting your finds to whichever Facebook group or subreddit you love — the QR tag simply adds live, on-a-map tracking on top, so you and the finder can watch the duck keep traveling long after the photo.

Add your links so finders can follow you

Here’s the new part: your DuckyTrack profile now supports a bio, a website, and links to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and X. When someone finds one of your ducks and scans it, your links show up right on that duck’s page — a perfect way to grow your following across all these communities from a single duck in the wild.

• Head to your settings and fill in the new “Links & social media” section.
• Just enter your handle (we build the link for you), then keep “show my links” on.
• Your links now appear on your public profile and on every duck you release — so finders can follow you with a tap.
